CE75.08 : Design of Reinforced Concrete Components  3(3-0)
 
Course objectives:
The objective of this course is to provide the state-of-the-art information about various procedures for the design of individual concrete components. The purpose of structural analysis and design is to produce useful information for realistic and safe structures. This course addresses this by providing integrated understanding and practical guidelines and covering code-based design of individual structural elements.
 
Learning Outcomes:

The students on the completion of this course would be able to:

  • Ability to apply deep understanding and systematic principles of reinforced concrete design in accordance with standards and codes of
  • Ability to design and detail the reinforced concrete structural components that satisfy the strength, serviceability, ductility and durability requirements for gravity and lateral loads.

An “A” would be awarded if the student demonstrates thorough knowledge of concepts and techniques together with a high degree of skill and originality in the use of those concepts and techniques. A “B+” would be awarded if the student demonstrates thorough knowledge of concepts and techniques together with a fair degree of skill in the use of those concepts and techniques. A “B” would be awarded if the student demonstrates good level of knowledge of concepts and techniques with considerable skill in using them. A “C+” would be awarded if the student demonstrates that more efforts is required in relation to the required knowledge of concepts and techniques. A “C” would be awarded if the student demonstrates that intensive efforts is needed in relation to the required knowledge of concepts and techniques. A “D” would be awarded if the students’ understanding of the concepts and techniques is unacceptably low.
